Clearly I’m not good at blogging on the road because it’s now Tuesday evening and I’ve yet to write something. Part of that’s been because I’m just not sure where to start! I have a lot of ideas flowing and I haven’t taken the time to jot them down. Part of the reason for that is I’ve been in Texas this past weekend visiting my wonderful cousin! From the time I got there to the time I left, we’ve either been busy actually doing stuff or busy relaxing by the pool and cooking out!
I was excited to have my friend Lacy join me on the drive and our friend Noelle { <— who is a new blogger – so check her out!} met us in Houston on Saturday to stay the night! Lacy and I both have an affection towards Starbucks, so that was one of our very first stops, obviously!
On Saturday, we attended Veg Fest Houston and you’ll see a full re-cap of that experience sometime this week! The construction on 290 was horrible, so the drive there and back was exhausting and aggravating! The second I arrived back to my cousins, she instantly made me a mimosa because she said she was scared of what I might do to her because of the deadly glare I had on my face! The actual event was entirely worth it though and I’m excited to share what all I learned! After Veg Fest Houston, we went out for dinner & dancing! I spent $30 dollars on some stinkin’ cheesy rice, beans, & veggies because our waiter individually charged me for each veggie I got. I was pretty angry about that, but also had 2 margaritas on my bill so I didn’t quite feel up to the challenge of navigating the language barrier to tell him how psycho and ridiculous it is that he charged me 2-3 dollars for 4-5 different vegetables! I’m still furious that I didn’t speak up about that.
Moving on.
The dancing was fun and it was something I hadn’t done in a long time! I love going dancing!
Sunday was perfect and we spent our entire time at the pool and grilling out! Us vegetarians had Vegan Boca Burgers, Potato Salad, & Jalapeno Poppers (minus the bacon!). It was delicious!
Sadly, we drove home Monday. When we got back to town, I headed straight to Whole Foods for their 28 Day Whole Foods Challenge Orientation! Since I’m already a vegetarian, it basically amounts to going vegan so I’m excited about testing the Vegan waters again especially after attending Veg Fest! It might not be strictly vegan, but it’ll be close. I’m looking forward to the health benefits of this challenge and hope to lose a little in my waist as well as clear up my face because it’s been breaking out really bad lately. I’ll be fully documenting the experience and sharing what recipes I use and how my progress goes! I’ll also re-cap the information I learned in the orientation session. The challenge starts on Monday!
Now I’m off to the store to look for some new {discounted} workout clothes and maybe a dress & shoes similar to what I wore this weekend because I really loved the dress I borrowed from my cousin and I’ve been wanting wedges for a while now!
- Have you ever attended a Veg Fest?
- Have you ever attempted the Whole Foods 28 Day Challenge?
- Where can I find some affordable workout clothes & cute dresses/shoes like the ones above!?
